Local night time lighting

[Tinkickef]

A10C.

 

Latest update has broken the taxi light and landing lights at night. taxi light looks to be relatively unnaffected, but the landing light is a sharp cone with sharp edges. It looks as if all local lighting from the cockpit is affected. Nearby aircraft strobes no longer light up the cockpit to the same extent ect.

 

Be nice if they put it back exactly as it was, it was pretty much perfect.

 

All that needed tweaking were the Cockpit floods on the Hog for night time mission start up, but as a workaround, the near aircraft strobes allowed you to see the switches.

 

Overall effect of the lighting changes are to make the moonlit nights look much much less realistic than before as well as the broken taxiway lines at night, as mentioned by someone as seen in the daylight.

 

My perception of the lighting changes are something to do with shadows and light sources has been tweaked and not for the better. Probably a victim of the law of unintended consequences due to improvements elsewhere.

 

Edit: Appears to be an artifact of VR. The "cone" moves and alters angle when the head is turned or tilted.
